It looks like someone just fainted during PM's speech
Errrr.... One of the police recruits standing behind Johnson just appeared to have fainted.
A journalist pointed this out to Johnson, who turned around and asked if she was alright. But he did nothing else to help her. She then sat down, and he joked, perhaps it's time to wrap things up.
By the time Johnson finished, several minutes later, the police recruit was back on her feet.
Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott criticized the PM on Twitter. She wrote: "Johnson kept these trainees waiting on their feet, and unsurprisingly, one of them appears to have felt faint.
"He saw that happen, and he ignored it. Tells you everything you need to know about this man - and how much he really cares about the police service."
